First Interslavic keyboard in the catalogue. Standard orthography only — č š ž ě plus the punctuation Interslavic texts use („ ” – —). The extended alphabet is deliberately absent: it is not written in new text, and this matches the author's Windows (.klc), macOS (.keylayout) and Android layouts, which carry exactly the same four letters. Touch: no AltGr exists on a touchscreen, so the letters sit on longpress of their base key — hold `c` for `č` — the same mnemonic as AltGr+C on desktop. The longpress keys are touch-only T_* keys with their own rules rather than a re-use of the RALT rules, because a touch subkey cannot reach the rightalt layer. Both sets are generated from one table so they cannot drift apart. Language: isv-Latn (ISO 639-3 `isv`), resolves natively. Tested on iPadOS 26 via Keyman: install, typing, longpress, capitals. Builds warning-clean with kmc 18.0.249. Sources and the generator: https://github.com/radoslove/keyboard-interslavic

Reported from a real iPad: `s`, `c`, `z` produced the plain letter roughly half the time. Not autocorrect and not a missing rule — a plain letter means Keyman read the hold as a tap, so the longpress threshold was simply missed. `e` looked reliable only because it happens to be pressed with a different rhythm. Longpress is timing-dependent by nature, so rather than fight the threshold the letters now also have a flick: swipe north-east. A flick cannot be mistaken for a tap, and it is the same gesture the Android layout already uses for the same four letters, so the two mobile platforms now share one habit. Longpress is untouched — this is additive, not a replacement. minKeymanVersion deliberately stays at 10.0 even though flicks need 17+. Raising it would lock out everyone on an older Keyman to gain a feature they would not get anyway; they keep longpress, which is what 10.0 supports. The compiler hint about this is the correct outcome, not a defect to silence. Not yet reflected in keymanapp/keyboards#4092 — that gets updated once the fix is confirmed on the device it was reported from. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Licence: `Copyright © 2026 Radoslove` — the bare `©` came straight from the `kmc generate` template. Same slip was in the lexical model submission and is fixed there too. Flicks: the four letters now respond to a swipe in any direction as well as to a longpress. Reported from a real iPad — longpress alone gives the bare letter roughly half the time, because Keyman expects you to slide onto the popup before releasing and the popup lands somewhere different for every key. The stock EuroLatin keyboard misses the same way, so this is not specific to this layout; the flick simply removes the timing from the equation. Longpress is untouched. minKeymanVersion deliberately stays at 10.0 even though flicks need 17+ — raising it would lock out older installs to add a feature they would not get anyway, and they keep the longpress that 10.0 supports. Tested on iPadOS 26 via Keyman: install, typing, capitals, both gestures.

Thanks for your keyboard submission. It looks to be in very good shape. There are a few things you should update:
